Then I saw 1in the right hand of Him who asits on the throne a bscroll written inside and on the back, csealed up with seven seals. 2 Then I saw a astrong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, “Who is worthy to open the scroll and to break its seals?” 3 And no one ain heaven or on the earth or under the earth was able to open the scroll or to look into it. 4 Then I was crying greatly because no one was found worthy to open the scroll or to look into it. 5 And one of the elders *said to me, “Stop crying! Behold, the aLion that is bfrom the tribe of Judah, the cRoot of David, has overcome so as to open the scroll and its seven seals.” 6 Then I saw in the midst of the throne and the four living creatures and in the midst of athe elders a bLamb standing, as if cslain, having seven dhorns and eseven eyes, which are fthe seven Spirits of God, sent out into all the earth. 7 And He came and took athe scroll out of the right hand of Him who asits on the throne. 8 And when He had taken the scroll, the afour living creatures and the btwenty-four elders cfell down before the dLamb, each one having a eharp and fgolden bowls full of incense, which are the gprayers of the 1saints. 9 And they *sang a anew song, saying,
“bWorthy are You to take the scroll and to open its seals, because You were cslain and dpurchased for God with Your blood people from eevery tribe and tongue and people and nation.
